Adele Garrison My Marriage Problems The Hope That Leaped to IJfe in Madge's Heart. I caught my breath in an agony of uncertainty at Grace Draper's query to Ihe big man. 1 reasoned that any cause for alarm upon the rart of my captore was reason for my own en couragement. The sputtering of the motorcycle, which I no longer heard, had roused to life the hope shattered In Tony's garage. "Either he's just an ordinary boob, with no interest In tie. or he's trailing us," George announced, with his face still pressed against the rear window. "Just as he came in sight of us around that curb, he slowed up his engine, and got off. If he wasn't try ing to fix it, he made a good stall." "Is ho a cop?" Grace Draper, clev er as she is, could not keep the strain , out of her voice. "Don’t think so. He's too far off to see well. The other one may be, though.” "The other one! Are there two?" “Yes, In one of those sidecar things." "Probably not cops at all, just fool boys," Grace Draper's voice showed relief. "But It's just as well to find out. Tell George to slow up. They can catch us anyway IN they' wish, and Its Just as well to give them the once-over when they stop or go on by us.” The big man gave the order to George and the terrific pace at which we had been traveling decreased. And it was not long before we he^rd the noise of the motorcycle again. But though the big man watched assiduously from the rear window, and George, with an eloquently pro testing back, kept varying his speed from 20 to 50 and back again, the motorcycle did not appear. ‘They’re Probably Trailing Is." Sometimes the beat of its engine sounded loud and near. At others. It was only by straining my ears that I could hear It, and at times it ceased altogether. The road was a curving one, making it comparatively easy for the mortorcycie riders to keep out of sight if they so wished. "Either their engine is in a bad way and they don't know enough to fix it, or else—" The big man stopped. Grace Draper spoks decidedly. "We can't monkey any longer. Tell George to hit h»r up. and then when we turn down the side road, we can tell about these fellows. If they turn down after us, they're probably trail ing us, and wo'Il have to keep on past the gates. But if th^y stay on this road we've had our worry for noth ing." George needed no second injunction, and we tore down the road at a break neck pace, slowing up only to take the corner into a side road again lead ing north. And still the motorcycle sounded behind us. "Stop her before you get out of sight of the main road.” Grace Draper had commanded, and when George had obeyed, it was but a few seconds before the big man s voice sounded jubilantly. An Implied Threat. "We're safe. They're not cops. And they went past the road without even looking this way." "Don't count your young guinea hens before the eggs are laid.” Grace Draper retorted. "Beat it' George," she interrupted. "Did you get a good look at them?” she queried. "Not much of a one, but I saw they didn't have uniforms, and the driver was a big tall fellow. The other one in the side car I couldn't tell about." "Well, there's nothing to do now but to get to the house us soon as we can. But we ll shut out the land scape for this baby first. Throw the end of that blanket over her head." The big man complied, and Grace Draper pulled the fold down over my face so that I could see nothing. I wondered if she meant to smother me. and for a second or two I think her hatred dallied with the pleasing idea of shutting off air from me. Then her hand lifted the fold of the blanket, so that I could breathe, although my eyes were blinded. Then her mocking voice sounded. "Too much fresh air isn’t good for you, sweetheart, but we 11 let you have a little, for we need you awhile yet in our business.” The implied threat did not affect me. All my faculties seemed centered in my ears, strained to hear a recur rence of the motorcycle engine a beat. I had no reason for my belief, but the conviction had come to me that the crack in the door of Tony s garage coop and the beat of the motorcycle engine had some connection.

Peter Rabbit had alwajs envied his cousin. Jumper the Ilarc. the white coat which the latter has in winter. Many a time he had known Jumper to squat on the snow while Iteddy Fox trotted past only a few feet away without seeing him. Peter's own lit tle brownish-gray coat showed up against the snow' so that it was quite impossible for him to remain out in the open and be unseen. But now it was spring, and only here and there in the Green Forest was a little patch of snow to be found. But Jumper's coat was as HC*»t "No," said he. "I don't see a single brown hair.” white as ever, and Jumper was worry ing. Peter tried to comfort him. "All you have to do is to sit still under a hemlock branch," said he. "If any body omej along they will think you are a little patch of snow* which hasn't melted. 1 wouldn't worry if I were in your place. "Yes. you would,” retorted Jumper. "You would 1st Just as worried as I am. Look me all over. Oowein Pe ter, and see if you can sec any brown hairs.” Peter looked Jumper all over, then slowly shook his head. "No." said he, "I don't see a single brown hair.” Jumper sighed. "If my coat changed as fast as the snow melts 1 wouldn't worry," said he. "But to have the snow go and my coat remain all white makes It pretty hard. Everybody else seems glad to have spring here, but I’m not. No, sir. I'm not. It is a hard time for me. All my enemies know that my coat ia white, and I can’t fool them Just by sluing still the way I fooled you Just now. Look1 there, Peter!" Peter looked. There, trotting down . the Lone Little Tath came Reddy Fox "Goodhy, Peter,” whispered Jumper. And off he started with great jumps. The instant he moved Reddy Fox saw him and started after him. Peter , didn’t move. He kept perfect!* still, ; squatting under a hemlock branch He knew that Reddy would have neither eyes, ears nor nose for any- ■ thing or anybody but Jumper. Down the Lone Little Path eame Reddy, running swiftly and Ughtly. He didn't even glance under the hem- ! lock branch as he passed Peter. His eyes were fixed on that bounding white form ahead of him. As soon as Reddy was past Peter crept out from under the hemlock branch that he might see better. Then he began to understand why Jumper was so worried by that white coat of hia. By this time Jumper was so far away that ho was only a white spot moving 'swiftly among the trees. But Peter had no trouble In finding him with his eyes. He watched him until he was a very small white spot, and finally disappeared. "It is going to be a case of his legs against the legs of Reddy Fox," said Peter to himself. “He can't hide. No. sir, he can't hide. That is, he can't unless he can find a big patch of snow and souat down in the middle of it. I don't believe that would do him any good now, for Reddy Fox would guess that trick and would look at every patch of snow. Poor Jumper I do hope Reddy won't catch him. Now if he only had a efirown coat like mine he might stand some chance of fooling Reddy. I'll never envy hlta that white coat again. No, sir, I never will.” Copyright, 1»S3, by T W.
